kinda...but i dun hav test kit for gH n kH...so just leave it for the time being...furthermore fishes in my tank are rated hardy, (or can be 'abused' a little... tongue.gif )

my logic, unless ure keeping very expensive, sensitive fishes such as altums or discus, then u can worry less about kH n gH...

just my worthless 1/2 kupang opinion btw  icon_rolleyes.gif

edit:- anybody doses phosphate in their tank? can recommend me any good product for dosing phosphate?

khaki & yuzu? khaki can be obtain on cameron highland. while fro yuzu, i get it from my friends who works at japan. good for spa too blush.gif

not all mini puffer are brackish water inhabitant. if we said MINI puffer. yeah a lot of this species requires brackish water. the one im keep in all tanks which is known as INDIAN DWARF MINI PUFFER, arent' brackish type. only.. the big puffer i had in my tank it is.. er.. not brackish water anymore. but salt water laugh.gif

thanks to usermode back then at 2009 thread. he mention about a-weird-bengkok-fin fish.and since then, i start to do some further research on how to keep this tank in my community tank. now 2012. so i can say, several mini puffer can be force to stay in community tank without killing other fish and invertebrate by using separeted method.

just separated them after their mommy give them birth. try it. you can put a shrimp together with them. but not shrimp fries. and top above that. this force method is suitable if you want to keep your mini puffer from nipping other fish tail.

not so hard to keep them. unless don't super force them to puff. or you'll regret to keep them in community tank icon_idea.gif

just my 2 cent based from my experienced smile.gif

I would like to know what is the difficulty like for mini fissidens. From the link below, the guy who posted the pictures made it look so easy.

http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumap...idens-rock.html

Can you even cut it into small pieces or even grind it rclxub.gif

either not enough light, not enough fert or not enough CO2.. mine was super slow last time.. put fert n CO2 n they fill up (well..almost) my tank relatively quick(i think)... i measure the growth of single stem ard 0.5 to 1cm per day...(yes... that is how 'lifeless' i am...hehe... biggrin.gif )

that was one of the technique applied for algae-look-alike. not all mini fissiden can be used for this reason. as long as your tank already been dosed with liquid fertilizer. i prefer to put potassium first for the first till 3rd weeks after grind them all. you can check previous top 50 iaplc winners. some of them applied this technique. i think 2009.

so. got bunch of them wink.gif don't mention riccia. this crap are fast growing plant even i don't put fertilizer. you can check my previos low tech tank. need to trim every 2 weeks at least. mine got riccia floating continent. LOL


» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


that one of the point. sounds like brown algae. already clear out the debris? excess nitrates. what about light. should be high enough depend on your tank spec.

low on nutrien light, fertilizer, co2..might be nutrient inside soil already suck out.. had any sucker plant inside that tank?? glosso are matched with small sized substrate.. or.. co2 level doh.gif

i dun think its algae, or it really is ?

will try to post pics here. but today i just cleaned my tank and wiping the whole pile of stains away. so its minimal now. but i ignore the part where it is close to the filter pipe


and also the stains only appear near the filer where the water flow is going (half front and right side, just beside filter pipe).

the left side and back is much cleaner
